A/N ok so here Is chapter 2 hope you enjoy it
Sidney freedman's jeep roared into camp and parked outside of the swamp, he climbed out finding no one there to guide him somewhere but he didn't mind he had been there enough to know what he needs to do, he pulled his suitcase from the back of the jeep and made his way inside to find B.J and Charles playing a game of chess, father Mulcahy and colonel potter talking about something. The old colonel stood up and shook Sidney's hand
"great to see you Sidney "
"same to you Sherman, so where's my patient"
"VIP tent major houlihan is over there with him right now"
"oh well then I won't impose, I'll wait for her to leave "
"she doesn't have authorization to leave unless requested by myself, hunnicut, or yourself, so go ahead"
"alright I can do that" Sidney stepped out of the swamp and made his way to the VIP tent, he knocked softly "health services"
"come in Sidney " came a tired, small feminine voice
He opened the door and made his way inside, Hawkeye lay the way he had last time with an IV sticking out of his arm for fluid and Margaret huddled over him, "alright Margaret you are free to leave now"
"are you sure Sidney"
"yep go ahead go get some sleep"
"alright, I'll be back in a bit Hawkeye" she stood up out of her chair and bent down and kissed his head, she walked out of the tent slowly, Sidney walked over to the chair where Margaret was just sitting and sat down himself
"so Hawkeye tell me, what was that all about?"
"what was what?"
"with Margaret, she kissed you on the head, why is that?"
"I-I don't know, why is that so important?"
"II just thought there was an explanation behind it, that's all. So tell me how have you been feeling the past couple days?"
"tired, stressed, dead on my feet, you know there's a lot of that in a war so I don't know why you asked me"
Sidney just stared at him
"right how am I feeling, well the past few weeks have been kind of tuff on everyone because one of our nurses uh … uh died two weeks ago"
"really how did that happen?"
"she stepped on a landmine when she went for a walk after… after…"
"after what?"
"well I went out with her a couple of times, Millie carpenter, so it's been kind of sorrow filled around here lately"
"and how do you feel about that?"
"feel about what?"
"how do you feel about Millie carpenters death"
"I … I don't know we weren't very close"
"you just said you went out with her a couple of times"
"yea I did but… we only ever jumped in the sac a few times I didn't really know her"
"I see, has this affected you in any way?"
"well I delivered her eulogy, it kind of taught me to start showing my feelings a little more"
"really what else?"
"well that's it, it made me want to let people know how I feel about them"
"I thought you didn't know Millie that well so how did you deliver the eulogy?"
"well I saw that no one else had volunteered so I took it upon myself to do it , father Mulcahy gave me her diary…"
"really was there anything in there that upset your or…?"
"well uh… she spoke of how she didn't know if she was in love with me, and that she was afraid to tell me so that's what made me you know want to tell my friends how I feel about them "
"really by any chance did you love Millie"
"no … no I don't want to fall in love again…"
"interesting why is that?"
"I-I just don't want to"
"is there an actual reason behind why?"
"well I guess but it's not important, I'm kind of tired Sidney could you leave" he said a little strongly turning onto his side facing away from the psychiatrist
"alright but we are going to pick up from where we just left off" he stood up and walked to the door " goodnight Hawkeye "
""mhm" came the muffled reply followed by massive sneezing, Sidney just shook his head and left he entered the swamp where everyone sat anxiously waiting, Klinger had now joined them
"how is he Sidney" the colonel asked in a whisper
"well he seems –" he spoke loudly when he was cut off
"shhh" the colonel put his finger to his lips and pointed towards Hawkeyes cot, Margaret lay there cuddled into a small heap asleep clutching Hawkeye's pillow
"as I was trying to say before I think this has to do with Miillie carpenters death, but not really Millie herself, he got really tense when he talked about his feelings for his friends and then when we stumbled upon his love life he told me to leave, so I obeyed " he said quietly now walking over to the guest cot in the far corner of the swamp, Sidney had no idea what might be causing this but colonel potter sure did, he just needed Sidney to find the missing pieces then just wait for the outcome and wait on Sidney's expertise to help him and let it out into open air, everyone stood up and left except Margaret, colonel potter draped a blanket over her and left
Everything was dark and cold, shells falling, bullets flying in every direction he huddled closer to someone beside him, he grabbed her trembling form and held her close rocking her, and kissing her beautiful golden hair, voices could be heard in the distance barking orders in what seemed north Korean "hold me Hawkeye please hold me " "I've got you I've got you I won't let anything happen to " he rocked her back and forth stroking her back when the voices got louder he huddled closer to her under the make shift shelter under a huge rock, then something started tugging on the form beside him and his confirmation was correct they were north Koreans , he felt some one push him out of the way while, some others grabbed the woman who used to sit beside him "HAWKEYE" she screamed "HAWKEYE HELP ME PLEASE HAWKEYE" he tried getting up but someone pushed him back down and held his arms while someone else held his legs he could see her being dragged off into the distance he screamed as loud as he could "I LOVE YOU MARGARET " but his voice was muffled by the artillery then he felt it something hit his head ,
he shot straight up sitting in a cold sweat, breathing heavily "calm down pierce before you make yourself truly crazy" came the colonels soft voice
"where is she " is all he could say
"where is who pierce?"
"where is she "
"I don't follow you "
"where … where is Margaret" his breathing was heavy and rapid
"she's fine lay back down" the colonel tried pushing him back, when Hawkeyes hands clamped his bathrobe and he held him tight with a fierce look in his eyes he spoke " you son of a bitch where is she" the colonel tried brushing him off "relax son she's in the swamp now lay down!" he said sternly this time pushing him back down forcefully " now go back to sleep" before he finished speaking Hawkeye was out like a light, he muttered to himself " Sidney better make Hawkeye confess his love for Margaret soon or Hawkeye will be claimed crazy permanently"
